How to add a watermark to your Dropbox Replay files

You can apply a default or customized watermark to your Dropbox Replay files. Watermarking helps you protect your content, lock down access, and track your watermarked content when sharing for review.
 

A generic watermark link can be sent to your groups or teams, or you can add email addresses and send a new link for each email address. You can set watermark link settings with each individual link and customize the text, position, theme, opacity, and size. If your Replay file has a generic watermark, you’ll see Watermark in the top-right corner of the thumbnail image. 
 

Replay files with customized watermarks have the same setting options as a generic watermark, but also include email tracking, and record the IP address, date, and time your viewer opened your content. Your Replay file thumbnail will show a lock icon and you’ll see Watermark in the top-right corner.
